[Lnc-business] nature of my PEBKAC error

[Alicia Mattson]

Well, I've duplicated the problem with my email messages being sent to the
wrong place.

When I reply to a message that SOMEONE ELSE posted to the list, my email
system puts the list name in the "To" field.  The problem happens when I
reply to a message that I posted to the list...and then my email system
puts me (rather than the list) as the name in the "To" field.  If I instead
do a reply-all, it lists both me and the list as the recipients.

That explains why it was happening routinely with the email ballot
results.  When I send the results, I go back to the message in which I
started the email ballot so that the motion itself will appear just below
the results for quick reference.

I don't think this was an issue for the whole term (or the previous term),
so I think something changed, and I didn't notice.  Perhaps it is related
to moving the email list to the new server?  Maybe my Gmail settings
related to sending from my @lp.org address to accommodate the new list...

Our next email ballot ends on Thursday, so let's see if I remember this
issue when I send the results.  :-)
